How to avoid getting framed by others?

Is there a PHP-way to avoid being framed by others. These people load my pages in their frames and make it appear as if it is their content.

There's a JavaScript way:

self.top = self;

Yes, I know. But I would like to handle browserwindows with PHP. So that the pages are parsed rather than compiled. (Furthermore there are still ppl who do not use JS)

R.

You can't control browsers with a server side scripting language. IOW, no, you can't do that with PHP.

However, one thing you could try is checking the HTTP_REFERER and if it isn't from your domain, send a meta refresh to the browser with a target of top. That would run anytime someone links from outside your domain (or types in your domain directly). Just put a 1 second cycle on it so it doesn't take too long.

NOTE: I've never done the above so I make no guarantees ;-) Just an idea that popped in my head

This would work. It's how a lot of people used to handle it and also how a lot of sites stop linking to their images. I suppose the easiest thing is to write the function then do an include in the pages you want to protect like this.

Try mod_block at http://www.apacheweek.com/features/modulesoup
It's alot faster.

Depends if your webserver is Apache OR if you actually have the ability to have things installed for you.

or u can set redirection rules on ur server itself...in httpd.conf --(if apache)

these rules can b used to allow linking or accessing to your pages only from your site
blocking rest of the other sites accession ur pages ..
example --

##### Begin Original
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
ServerAdmin webmaster@xyz.com
CustomLog logs/xyz-access-log combined
ServerName xyz.com
ServerAlias xyz.com *.xyz.com
DocumentRoot /home/htdocs/xyz
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !=^xyz.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !=^www.xyz.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/search http://www.xyz.com/index.html [R,L]
</VirtualHost>
##### End Original


this lines will redirect the requests from any other sites to index.html
